ethanol is not really economically sound. Subsidy allows it to look as good as it does but the reality is, corn ethanol is a fad. It is a detour on the path to the hydrogen energy we need.

The corn they are referring to is called field corn that is used to feed cattle etc.... They are currently building ethenol plants as alternative fuel sources in many areas.
